Devastator: The Crimes of Christopher Hightower, Part I

In the late summer of 1991, the tranquil little town of
Barrington, Rhode Island was stunned by the disappearance of an
entire family: Ernie and Alice Brendel and their 8 year old
daughter Emily. As the story unfolded, it just got weirder and
weirder. Mafia hit squads, bizarre murder weapons, a mysterious
figure called “The Lynx?” And the town was left to unravel a
mystery that was truly stranger than fiction: A tale of greed,
arrogance, and elaborate deception. Join us for Part 1--and Part 2
next week!
